Your gift of two mobile whiteboards for our entire school to use in our outdoor classroom is truly remarkable and will have a lasting impact on our students' learning experiences.\r\n\r\nDue to current weather conditions, we haven't been able to put these wonderful resources to use just yet. As you may know, Pennsylvania winters can be quite snowy, and this year is no exception! Rest assured, we are eagerly anticipating the warmer months when we can fully utilize these mobile whiteboards in our outdoor classroom setting.\r\n\r\nYour donation is intended to benefit our entire middle school student body, and we can't wait to see how it will enhance our teaching and learning opportunities. These mobile whiteboards will reside outside, allowing teachers to conduct engaging lessons in our outdoor classroom. This will not only provide a change of scenery for our students but also allow for more interactive and nature-integrated learning experiences.\r\n\r\nWe want you to know that your contribution goes beyond just the physical items. It represents an investment in innovative education practices and shows our students that the community cares about their learning environment. Your generosity will help us create a more dynamic and engaging educational experience for years to come.\r\n\r\nWhile we patiently wait for the snow to melt and spring to arrive, we are already planning exciting ways to incorporate these mobile whiteboards into our curriculum. From collaborative brainstorming sessions to outdoor math lessons and science demonstrations, the possibilities are endless.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your incredible support of our school and our students' education. Your kindness and generosity will not be forgotten, and we look forward to putting your gift to great use in the near future.","fullyFundedDate":1733673979207,"projectUrl":"project/mobile-whiteboards-for-outdoor-classroom/8958332/","projectTitle":"Mobile Whiteboards for Outdoor Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Thomas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9835583_orig.jpg?crop=1833,1833,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732207230961","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9835583"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39738","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":662,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":63.3,"schoolId":39738,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Laurel Highlands Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Laurel Highlands Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/laurel-highlands-school-district/laurel-highlands-middle-school/39738"}
